Greetings! I am Karl Wassman, the Elementary Principal, I oversee preschool through sixth grade and I am also in charge of our Title and English Language Learners (ELL) Programs. I am excited to continue serving the people and students of Mountain Lake.

Mountain Lake Elementary offers a number of programs to best meet the needs of all students. We use the Response to Intervention (RTI) problem solving process to find and assist students whose reading skills are below level. In addition we offer full Special Education services from Birth to school age. Typical utilized resources include Speech, Occupational Therapy, Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), and Specific Learning Disability (SLD) services. Our staff also utilizes Accelerated Reading and IXL Math to further enhance general education curriculums.

Our students have participated and done extremely well in local and regional spelling bees, science fairs, writing workshops, art conferences and other similar extension activities.

I am very proud of our staff as they work diligently to meet the needs of all learners. In addition, the role that you as parents and the community play is vital in your child's education. We thank you for your continued support

If you have a question or if I can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks and I look forward to a great year!
